The dog is walking so the dog's footsteps are going to be in the video.
2
Hey guys, so recently I've been getting quite a lot of feedback from you
3
which has been great because that means that you're watching my videos and that they actually mean something to you.
4
So yeah, thanks.
5
One question that I got that I thought was pretty interesting was
6
how to get your students to interact with one another on your lessons.
7
and I thought that this could be quite an important topic to talk about
8
because it's a problem that I had in the beginning as well.
9
I love teaching one -on -one.
10
I think it's the best way to teach English just because
11
you get so much more time to spend with one person and maybe that's for a different video.
12
But sometimes you have to teach in groups.
13
And with teaching in groups, there come different problems.
14
One of which I experienced, and this was the fact that when you have a group of people, you have many different personalities,
15
which means you get shy people, and you get very talkative people and what usually happens is that the talkative people,
16
well, talk a lot and the shy people kind of disappear into the background.
17
Another thing that I noticed is that in groups it's a lot more difficult for people to open up.
18
So even if these are people who aren't shy, they might feel uncomfortable to speak when they're in a group just because they're
19
not really confident about their language and about speaking in front of their peers or their colleagues in another language.
20
So over the past couple of years, I have used a couple of different methods to get my students
21
talking on my lessons
22
and interacting with each other in my lessons some of these
23
ideas are in mine i also have to google them up
24
and find them on the internet but i'd love to share them with you guys
25
So one of the first things I like to do on my lessons, on my group lessons, are warm -ups.
26
One of the warm -ups, which is I guess the most basic and most obvious one, is I start by asking my students how they are.
27
and asking a little bit about their lives, what they've been up to, and kind of seeing where the discussion goes on from there.
28
Because sometimes it can, I don't know,
29
somebody can do something or have done something over the weekend that will join with somebody else's story and
30
you'll get a discussion going on.
31
Sometimes, however, I got students who like to give me easy answers.
32
Easy answers being, Oh, I don't know, nothing much.
33
Or I just stayed at home.
34
Or I'm fine and they wouldn't
35
elaborate on that idea which made things very difficult for me
36
because it's hard to have a discussion when somebody keeps on ending it. with you.
37
So for the students that gave me very quick and easy answers, I found another way.
38
What I would do is on the next lesson, I would get the students to talk not about themselves but about the person sitting next to them.
39
So if it's an introductory lesson, what
40
What is great is I would get them to introduce the person sitting next to them
41
That usually ended in quite a laugh and it made the atmosphere like a More.
42
easy going and if that didn't work then i had another i had this other thing that worked.
43
I have an envelope with these random words and I would get my students to pick out a random word,
44
and we would kind of go around in a circle
45
where one person would start a story that had to contain this word, and then the next person would continue with their word.
46
These could be short words like, I don't know, beard and bust and I don't know, cat too.
47
If you want to be more ambitious, these could be words that you used in your previous lesson.
48
So it could be like a vocabulary practice
49
so another way to get your students talking
50
but this is a bit of a brutal way is talking
51
with a timer this is what my english teacher used to do to us in in primary school
52
and although it was really stressful i do only have positive memories about it
53
which is why i do it with my students otherwise i wouldn't put them through this turmoil
54
but um the point of talking topic and they have to talk about this topic for um,
55
you can decide if it's two minutes or three minutes or five minutes I would stick to like
56
two minutes in the beginning, because it really can get quite difficult.
57
And the topics can be really random.
58
And also you don't have to think of the topics yourself.
59
You can give your students the opportunity to give topics to one another.
60
And the last thing that I'll share with you is my personal favorite that works every time.
61
It's the most important thing because it's what makes my lessons work and this is a
62
Topics of interest and when I say topics of interests, I mean getting to know your students well enough
63
to be able to prepare topics for them that they are interested in and that's spark their enthusiasm on your lessons.
64
This does take a bit of work because it means
65
that you have to spend the first couple of lessons building a connection with your students and a relationship.
66
But it really pays off because as a teacher it makes The next.
67
series of lessons you have with this group really easy.
68
because you don't have to motivate them to talk.
69
They will talk on their own because it'll be topics that they are passionate about.
70
So after speaking with my one group, I found out that they were quite upset with their management and the way the management was treating them as employees.
71
And this sparked quite an interesting discussion that I saw that even those
72
who usually don't participate in my lessons had this fire that they wanted to share how unfair they felt certain situations were.
73
And what I did in the next couple of lessons is I
74
pulled on these emotional strings and I found different videos on, for example, TED or articles about
75
successful companies that really treat their employees well
76
and this sparked up more discussions and we could learn new vocabulary from these articles and these talks.
77
And together we kind of drew up ideas of the ideal
78
working environment that we would like to have or what things we would change within the company.
79
And this was pretty amazing because
80
They had a lot to say and I was basically just there to listen
81
and to either correct mistakes or add in the correct vocabulary and they were doing all the talking.
82
So yeah, so if you find the topics that interest your group,
83
what you can then do is find short videos on YouTube about this topic or TED Talks or
84
articles that you can then either send to your students before the next lesson
85
or you can use them to watch and discuss the next time that you meet with them.
86
So those were my tips on how I get my students to interact with one another on my lessons.
87
If you guys have any questions or maybe there are some problems that you guys encounter on your group lessons, maybe I can help out.
88
Otherwise, thanks for watching.
89
Don't forget to like and subscribe and I will see you soon.

背景与上下文
在如今的英语教学中，师生互动显得尤为重要，尤其是在小组课程中。教师往往面临不同性格学生的挑战：有些学生非常健谈，而另一些学生可能显得害羞，从而不愿意在课堂上发言。为了提高课堂的互动性，教师需要采取有效的方法来激发学生的交流。在最近的一段视频中，讲者分享了她如何促使学生之间进行有效互动的经验和技巧，尤其是在小组授课中。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- How are you? (你好吗？)
- I just stayed at home. (我只是待在家里。)
- Nothing much. (没什么特别的。)
- Can you introduce yourself? (你能自我介绍一下吗？)
- What have you been up to? (你这段时间在忙什么？)
这些短语可以帮助学生在日常交流中更自然地表达自己，同时也为后续的深入交流奠定基础。在进行雅思口语练习时，使用这些常见短语能够增加学生的自信，同时也更好地适应考官的提问。
逐步跟读指南
如果你希望通过英语影子跟读来提高自己的口语能力，以下是一个简单的分步骤跟读指南：
- 选择一段与你的英语水平相符的视频，开始进行影子跟读练习。
- 在首次观看时，专注于理解讲者的意图和内容，而不是每一个单词的发音。
- 反复观看视频，注意音调、语速以及讲话的节奏，尝试模仿讲者的语气。
- 逐渐加入更多的短语和表达方式，比如上面列出的五个常用短语，增强你的表达能力。
- 最终，记录你的发音，并与原视频进行比较，找出需要改进的地方。
通过这种方式，你可以提高自己的口语技巧，同时也能更好地准备雅思口语的相关考试。在shadowspeaks的学习中，通过影子跟读，你将能够更加自信地与他人交流，为未来的英语使用打下良好的基础。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | has been · they've been · have done |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | people who aren · ups, which is · students who like |
| 最高级 the -est / the most … — 一组中最高或最低的 | the best · the most basic · the most important |
| 过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作 | was treating · were doing |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
